Christopher Wilson

BC Bureau Chief

Chris has long been a supporter of resource development in BC, advocating for pipelines, LNG development, mining, the site C dam and the oil sands. He has written extensively on these issues, appeared on TV and radio to debate, and has even organized pro-resource counter protests in Vancouver. Chris is a strong advocate of capitalism and free-market economics and is probably the biggest Blue Jays fan in Western Canada.

This Thursday, BC’s Environment Minister George Heyman confirmed what many suspected since the NDP were elected in May— this government will challenge the Kinder Morgan Pipeline expansion. Now we also know how they plan to do it.

The Dogwood Initiative are at it again— posing as a grassroots group opposed to big money while accepting huge sums from US-based foundations to oppose BC and Canada’s natural resource industry, and interfere in our elections.

The Destroyers are inside the gate and the war on energy workers has officially begun. Premier John Horgan sent the Site C dam project for yet another review, this time to the BC Utilities Commission leaving 2,400 jobs in peril and upwards of $600M on the line.

Christy Clark announced her upcoming resignation as BC Liberal leader and as an MLA. While some had speculated and hoped this would be the case after the NDP/Green government came to power, others believed she would stay on to fight in opposition given the possibility of a snap election.

I’m still deciding whether I want to call BC’s new government NDGreen or GreeNDP, but whatever we call this John Horgan and Andrew Weaver frankenstein government, one thing is certain, they are Destroyers.
